Will you go to the school? I don’t want to go. Best offer so far in terms of scholarship money so it’s possible.
Where would you go? I’m looking at California. I applied for film schools at UCLA, USC, LMU, Chapman, & DePaul. DePaul is a fallback school for film I have in Chicago. Going to school for business is my second backup plan (never hurts to have backups).
Good luck to everyone!!!
